About the database |
| This database is a tool to provide information about
ongoing and planned scientific research in Svalbard, and is intended to
facilitate coordination and cooperation of research and field activities. |
| It is fully electronic and replaces the annual project catalogue 'Research
in Svalbard RiS'. All information from this catalogue will be implemented in
the new database and will thus be searchable also in the future. Until
then you can download the project catalogues from 1999-2004
here. |
|
| Your contribution needed |
| The database is only as valuable as its contents, and we would appreciate
your assistance in submitting the relevant information on your project and
data, regardless of scientific level. Any research effort, from a master’s
thesis to large-scale, multinational programmes, holds a potential interest
to other scientists. |
|
| Plans for the future |
| The final version of the database is intended to be a one-stop-only
platform for researchers in Svalbard, within which all information,
application for permissions and reporting will be combined. |
| The database will also be extended with a mapping system, including information on field activities and regulations.
The aim is to provide a tool to easily get an overview of research in
Svalbard (What? Where? When? Who? How?) and to avoid undesirable duplication
of research activities. |
| A sketch of the final database can be found
here. |

| The Svalbard Science Forum Web Portal's intention is to facilitate
scientific research in Svalbard. The information is intended to
cover the needs of the most common and typical research activities.
However, the information is not exhaustive, and may be inadequate for
specific cases, such as the handling of radioactive substances or other. The
responsibility to obtain all the required and relevant permits rests with
the principal investigator. |
